Waking up Feeling Tired caused by Adrenal Fatigue

feeling

d, or not quite yourself? This is very common in

adrenal

fatigue

and we will explore why. This is Dr.Lam, founder of Drlam.com. You know, sleep is a very important component of our daily life. Without a good night's rest, it is almost impossible to obtain all the regenerative properties. Sleep not only allows us to rest, but is the time when the body cleanses itself of metabolites. The body's organs also need to rest even if they don't stop completely, so a proper rest at night has enormous revitalizing factors.

When you wake up unrested, several things may be happening. Number 1, you never get the deep sleep you need, so the body is still hungry for better rest. Number 2, your metabolic byproducts are building up and not leaving your body fast enough, building up and therefore the toxic buildup can get to such a point overnight that it becomes very problematic for your body to handle them. Number 3, your cortisol level, which is responsible for helping you wake up in the morning, and it rises around 4, 5 starting to do so, so that you wake up at 6, 7. If that curve or that peak does not occur , then you won't be able to wake up refreshed.

Many people have low cortisol levels in the morning and feel terrible when they wake up and only slowly improve during the day as the cortisol level begins to rise. So there are many factors why you may not wake up what we call refreshed. Obviously you should consult with your doctor to see if everything is okay. But normally speaking, most labs are going to be normal, and even sleep studies can show that you have some type of blockage and you may be put on CPAP and different types of machines. But they usually don't help much in the sense that it's associated with

adrenal

fatigue.

Because when you have adrenal fatigue, especially in the later stages, the body is always in alert mode, which prevents you from getting the deep sleep you need. You might be lying there, but you'd be tossing and turning so much and

waking

up so frequently that you'd never have a chance to go into deep restoration mode. As a result, when you wake up in the morning, you simply do not get the restful sleep that a normal person gets when they sleep continuously and uninterrupted. So when you wake up in the morning and don't feel refreshed, the first thing you should ask is why.

Need to track: do you have diabetes that could cause this? Do you have a metabolic buildup of sugar imbalances that cause you to wake up many times at night? Do you have to go to the bathroom because of, in the case of men and women, prostate problems, in the case of women, urinary or bladder problems? All of these things should be ruled out, but if everything turns out to be normal and still unexplained, then think about adrenal fatigue. Yes, it is something common, and the interesting thing is that it is a symptom and not a disease.

So, that's the good news: Now, when the adrenal glands improve over time, many times people report a better

feeling

of sleep and a more refreshed situation when they wake up in the morning. This freshness is very surprising because it's almost like spring has arrived and you know you wake up and feel fresh compared to when you wake up and still feel

tired

and need coffee and other stimulants to get you going. So knowing and being sensitive to your body and being in tune with how you feel in the morning is an important indirect symptom of how well your adrenal glands are working.

So pay attention to this subtle sign that is important. I hope you enjoyed this video.
